Title: chalet school for better or verse part II
Post by mohini on Jan 9^th, 2004, 7:33am
Since no one has stored my preious previous poems I am writing new ones but not from begining.
So here goes. I will store them myself now.
So the Austrian chapter of school ended
And Guernsey chapter began
An old house was prepared for school
Naturally which was near the san.
The school had students forty two
Some old teachers and some new
The school was located not very high
And it even had a German spy.
Then Rufus was rescued and Frieda too
And also the League of Peace
The school had air raids and bombings
And blackouts and Joey had a niece
When Joey crossed the channel
She was chased by a torpedo
For the war had come very near
And they all had to go.
So all went to England
For there was a house hire
Plas Howell came with Gwensi
And it was in Armishire.
But Gwensi hated school
Till she met Joey and Robin
And also Daisy and Beth
And then it was plain sailing.
Soon Elizabeth Arnett grew up
But Betty Wynne Davies remained bad
When Simone finally married
Everyone was glad
Then Chalet school received
Flora and Fiona Highland Twins
And Fiona trapped Betty’s finger in a chair
And that made her wince.
So Betty hated Fiona
And tried to punish her
By telling about the chart to a spy
Which was very childish of her.
So Betty was expelled
And Jack was thought to be dead
But Fiona with her vision
Told he was sick on a bed.
So in the end Joey said
“Thank God the twins came”
And if you And I read the book
We’ll all say the same.

An excellent way to skit through several books.

Yes - terrific Mohini.
I'm glad you're keeping copies of your work - it's really not safe to just leave them on this board, not with the TEM around.

Glad you have restarted this Mohini - I missed the first one as it was posted while I was away and eaten by the TEM before I could read it. You are really clever to write like this.

When Lavender Leigh joined the chalet school
Everyone thought that she was rude,
Then she had a fight with Joy
She pushed her as she stood
She fell in snow
And she didn't sneak
And she had to take rest
For a whole week
And a son was born to Joey
and everyone called him green
When Lelamani joined the school
They found Lavender was not mean.
She befriended Lilamani
And gave her her frocks
And when Lilamni's mother died
Tried to lessen her shock
And in the end Joy got remove
Using unsuspecting Lavender as atoll
And when Lavender heard this
She laughed in the Chalet School.

That's really good Mohini! :) You are really clever to do this.

This could be a good reference work for drabblers - Mohini is covering all the important points in each book.

Then one day a tragedy occurred
3 teachers had an accident
And all were badly hurt
And the driver had blood on his shirt
So a new head was appointed
For her credentials were good
But her ideas were strong
And she changed the happy mood.
And Jossette was scalded
And Sybil was the culprit
And when Miss Bubb scolded Joey
Joey threathened to quit.
And Jayacnth lost her Aunty
And Joey mothered her
And when Gay taught her cello
Miss Bubb punished her

So Gay had to run away
And she was helped by grandmother
And when she returned back
She brought German Measles with her
Then Margor Venables Prize was announced
And Gay was the natural choice
And everyone clapped and applauded
And made lot of noise

Thanks again mohini - enjoyed this one!

(Minor pedantic point - it was 4 teachers hurt in accident.)

I do not have Jo to the rescue and I do not know why but till I read the synopsis I thought Jo rescued Gay from China

Then Jo rescued a cello
And she also changed Phoebe’ life
Who promptly like many others
Soon became her doctor’s wife.
When Tom tackles the chalet school and Rosalie
Everyone stares as hard as they can.
But in the end all agree
Above all Tom is a gentleman.
Then three joined the chalet school
Mary-Lou, Verity Anne and Clem
And they were as different can be
And no one knew what to make of them.
And Mr. Young fell in love with Gillian
As in looks she did not lack
And they decided to get married
A chapter missing from paperback

That's amazing! Is that 4 books in 15 lines? How do you do it?

PatMac
How do I do it?
Well we artists do not tell our secrets.
Frankly speaking I realise tht if i write toolong poems they are difficult to read and appreciat. Good things should come in small quantity and this way the drabble is short and appriciated more.
